DAFO Turbo
Product Features
The DAFO Turbo is a two-part design consisting of a thin, wraparound SMO inner liner combined with a rigid outer AFO upright that effectively blocks ankle movement. The DAFO Turbo provides one of the highest levels of ankle/foot control available in the DAFO line of orthoses, with strong ankle plantarflexion and dorsiflexion block. The DAFO Turbo is effective for patients who present with a crouched posture with some positional correction available at the hip, knee, and ankle. This design is also an effective solid-ankle brace.

Common Questions about DAFO Turbo
DAFO Turbo is designed for children who need strong fixed-ankle support to manage excess dorsiflexion, crouched posture, and instability during standing and gait.
DAFO Turbo holds the ankle at a controlled angle, which helps reduce excessive dorsiflexion and supports improved knee extension and more upright lower-limb alignment.
No. DAFO Turbo is a fixed-ankle orthosis, so it is intended to provide strong, consistent control rather than free or guided ankle motion.
